Aditya Dubey is an Indian environmental activist. He is a recipient of Diana Award in 2021.[1] In August 2020, Dubey filed a petition to Supreme Court of India, requesting the apex court to help farmers with free stubble- removing machines that could result in reduction in stubble burning which is considered a major cause of air pollution in Delhi. He also reached out to Chief Ministers of Delhi, Punjab and Haryana, advocating against the fine or police actions for stubble burning.[2]
The plea was addressed by Supreme Court and a three judge bench formed a committee led by judge Madan B Lokur to monitor the situation.[3] An ordinance ‘Commission For Management Of Air Quality in Delhi & Adjoining Areas, 2020[4] was eventually promulgated to handle the air pollution problem in Delhi and nearby areas.[5] Dubey was also a part of 'No Car Sunday' initiative in Delhi that promoted to give up use of personal vehicles for a day.[6]
Early Life and Work
Having suffered poor health and problems with lungs[7] because of the air pollution in Delhi-NCR motivated Dubey to work for the environment.[1] He started the Plant a Million trees initiative in 2016.[8] In 2019, Dubey had filed a complaint against Amazon, Flipkart. The complaint was filed with National Green tribunals and was concerned with the excessive use of plastic and card boxes for product deliveries.[9] He later worked against the single-use plastic in collaboration with Central Pollution Control Board.[1]
During Covid Pandemic he launched the Covid Hunger Helpline with his friends which provided food and rations to the underprivileged classes who were suffering due to the lockdown.[10]
